a
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/
cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio
broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To
assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an
electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength
in the location in which the Aoralscan 2 is used exceeds the applicable RF
compliance level above, the Aoralscan 2 should be observed to verify normal
operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be
necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the Aoralscan 2.
b
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than
3 V/m.
c
The ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz
are 6.765 MHz to 6.795 MHz; 13.553 MHz to 13.567 MHz; 26.957 MHz to 27.283
MHz; and 40.66 MHz to 40.70 MHz.
To limit exposure to electromagnetic interference from nearby equipment that can
degrade image quality or launch warning messages, it is necessary to position the
Aoralscan 2 further from sources of electromagnetic interference or install
electromagnetic shielding to block unwanted interference. The customer or the user
of the Aoralscan 2 should operate the device under EMI conditions that minimize
power supply transients, mechanical interactions, vibration, and thermal, optical, and
ionizing radiation.

recommended separation distance d in meters (m) can be estimated using the
equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum
output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter
manufacturer.
NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency
range applies.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic
propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures,
objects and people.
The Aoralscan 2 is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment in which
radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the Aoralscan
2 can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance
between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the
Aoralscan 2 as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the
communications equipment.
Table 2-5 Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications
equipment and the Aoralscan 2
The medical electrical equipment is suitable for the professional healthcare
environment per 60601-1-2:2014. It is suitable for use in physician offices, clinics,
hospitals, and other professional healthcare environments except near HF surgical
equipment and the RF shielded room of an ME system for magnetic resonance
imaging or other environments where the intensity of electromagnetic disturbances is
high.
The clinical environments where the device can be used include physician offices,
clinics, hospitals, and clinical point-of-care for diagnosis of patients except
environments where the intensity of electromagnetic disturbances is high.

performing a scan, you must wear clean surgical
gloves through the whole process.
Tooth preparation
• Ensure that saliva is not blocking the vision of the working area
for the scanner user. Dry the working area (lips, tongue, and
tissues) whenever needed.
• If necessary, ask the patient to hold the tongue still and move it
to the opposite side of the mouth.
• Dry the teeth thoroughly before starting a scan.
• When scanning, consider using the saliva ejector and tampons
to keep the surfaces of teeth dry.
• If necessary, consider using the retractors to avoid excessive
tissue from being scanned.
• If necessary, consider using tampons to help create space
while working on narrow regions between teeth.
Scanner preparation
• Ensure that the scanner tip, scanner body, and cradle are
properly pre-cleaned, disinfected, or sterilized. See Precleaning, disinfection, and sterilization on chapter 9.
• Ensure that the scanner tip has no scratches or is not
damaged. Additionally, the tip is firmly attached to the front end
of the scanner body.
35
Intraoral Scanner User Manual
• Ensure that the scanner connection is ready; it is correctly connected to a power
source and powered on, and IntraoralScan are launched and ready to work.
• To avoid condensation on the mirror of the tip when scanning, the scanner tip
must have been warmed up. For details, see Heating the scanner tip on chapter 5.
• Calibrate the scanner and verify the accuracy of the acquisition regularly. For
details, see Calibrating the scanner on chapter 4.
Scanning position and path
• Avoid direct light from any light source, e.g. dentist chair lamp, to shine on the
area you are working on.
• Hold the scanner steady by resting it on the tooth surface and keep the scanner
tip within 15 mm from the teeth.
• When scanning, slowly move the scanner and simultaneously check the scan
results on the screen to ensure the scanning is of good quality.
• When scanning, the scanner tip should be centered over the teeth, and each
movement should align with the cross-hairs, following the lower and upper dental
arch shapes.
• A complete scan data of a single area includes the surfaces of occlusal, lingual,
buccal, interproximal contacts of the adjacent teeth, and 2-3 mm buccal gingiva.
• A complete scan data of a single case includes the lower jaw, upper jaw, and bite
registration.
• When scanning, change the scanning angle to 35-55 degrees in order to create
overlaps. It is important to achieve an overlap of at least 30% between each
acquisition. If the overlap is small, it may cause the alignment to fail.
• To scan the occlusal surface of the teeth, hold the scanner at a 90-degree angle;
to scan the buccal and lingual surfaces of the teeth, hold the scanner at a 45degree angle.
• Inspect the scanned image in the 3D scan view window (IntraoralScan) and
pay attention to warning messages.
Heating the scanner tip
In order to obtain optimal image quality, you should prevent condensation on the
scanner mirror before each scan by heating the scanner tip.
Follow the steps below to warm up the scanner before starting an acquisition:
1. Ensure that the scanner tip, scanner body, and cradle are clean and sterile. For
details, see Pre-cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization on chapter 9.
2. Gently and carefully attach the scanner tip to the scanner body, with the mirror

heater automatically turns on and detects the temperature.
It the temperature of the scanner tip is lower than the set point for anti-fogging,
a notification message of pre-heating and current temperature appears.
When the message disappears, the warm-up is done. The scanner is now
ready for an acquisition.
NOTES
• The heater maintains constant temperature on the scanner tip.
• The scanner tip is being heated whenever power is supplied, even if the
scanner is in standby or sleep mode.
• If the heater does not reach the necessary temperature for preventing
condensation during scanning, the message of “The scanner is preheating. Please wait” appears.

Introduction to IntraoralScan function
Scan technique
The scanning technique of the software has certain requirements. During the
scanning process, the speed cannot be too fast, and the model can be scanned to move
to the next part to scan. During the scanning process, when scanning the previous area,
the next area, the back side, and the front side, there must be a certain overlap area,
otherwise the scanned model may have accumulated errors.
The scanner adopts S-type scanning, and the following figure a is taken as an example.
The left distal tooth is used as the scanning starting tooth position (1 in the figure) and
the S-shaped scanning is performed in the direction of the dotted arrow.
The S-scan process is: face (1) -> lip side to tongue side (2) -> tongue side to lip side (3)
